Chapter 512: Reform of the Government System
In order to rebuild after the war, most of the Allied countries used the Bank of Boston and the Bank of China as collateral for their colonies, and each made a large number of loans. These loans are naturally settled in the other party's currency, and if the Boston dollar appreciates sharply, the Yaman Empire will have to pay more money when it repays the Boston Bank, which makes Wilhelm II, who is not rich in the first place, startled.
With the threat of the Boston Empire, the Yaman Empire had no choice but to issue an appeal for mediation, and the mediator who could suppress the Boston Empire naturally fell to the most powerful Chinese Empire. Fang Xiaoyu is very active about this kind of participation in international affairs, not to mention that it was invited by the Yaman Empire, so that the Yaman Empire also owes the Chinese Empire a favor, so Foreign Minister Wu Qiong personally went to the Yaman Empire.
Negotiators from both sides negotiated in Essen, the capital of the Yaman Empire, and the Chinese Empire, the Boston Empire, and the Yaman Empire participated in the peace talks as mediators.
Before the negotiations, the Yaman Empire was considered to have dealt with the Habfsburg Kingdom, since the Zhilu Dao allies were threatened and could not send troops, the royal family did not report much hope, not to mention that the Habfsburg Kingdom also had loans in the banks of the Boston Empire, and they also had the handle in the hands of others, so the confidence was naturally not so sufficient, so the peace talks went very smoothly.
Without overthinking, the pragmatic royal representatives were satisfied as long as they could maintain the traditional power of the Harirans, so they agreed to the Bouviman and Sloh demands for statehood. The Buvimans and Sloes wanted to make some excessive demands, but they were suppressed by the Chinese Empire.
For the Allied side, Fang Xiaoyu has always regarded it as an outpost against the Boston Empire, and the less weakened they are, the better, so the Chinese Empire is very tough on them, and even directly threatens with economic sanctions and military entry, so they did not dare to be too arrogant, and the peace talks were signed in a fairly calm atmosphere.
The Kingdom of Habfsburg agreed to the statehood demands of the Bouvimans and the Slo, who in turn agreed to demarcate a new border along the line of current Line of Actual Control. Soon the Hungarian Republic of the Bouvimen and the Slovak Republic of the Slovak Republic of the Sloves were established, and the two countries soon established formal diplomatic relations with the Boston Empire due to the Boston Empire's protection of the rebels during the war.
The Boston Empire's goal of opening a gap in the Western Continent was achieved, and Russia finally had two quasi-allies behind it, and the strategic situation was greatly improved. Because of this incident, the Yaman Empire was greatly stimulated, and the major countries of the Allied bloc, which had learned from the pain, began to seek military alliances to ensure their own security.
The Chinese Empire did not perform brilliantly in this peace talks, and now the Chinese Empire, which has absolute economic and military superiority, no longer needs to rely on these tricks to add points to itself, and the Imperial Government is most concerned about the economic development of the country, and the Chinese Empire does not want to get too deeply involved in the affairs of the Western Continent.
Now the Boston Empire wants to penetrate deep into the Western Continent to strengthen its own strength against the NATO bloc led by the Chinese Empire, which is bound to make the largest ally on the Western Continent tense, and the confrontation between the two sides is inevitable. As long as the Chinese Empire does not interfere in the affairs of the Western Continent, the Allied bloc will focus its attention on the Boston Empire, and conflicts between the two sides in various fields will be unavoidable, which will give the NATO bloc the opportunity to make profits.
The current Chinese empire has a great advantage in technology, economy and military, and as long as it remains strong, it can respond to all changes with the same and watch the battle between the white world and the world with a cold eye. But striking iron still needs its own hardness, and Fang Xiaoyu felt a sense of crisis from the civil war in the Habfsburg Kingdom.
The monarchy has its advantages, as long as the monarch is wise enough, he can concentrate the country's efforts to develop the country and let the country develop at a high speed. But the monarchy also has great drawbacks, once the monarch is mediocre, the country's strength will decline rapidly, the political situation will be turbulent, and the people's hearts will be scattered.
At the beginning, he wanted to carry out political reform in the war, but he never had the opportunity, and after the war, he began to regulate the economy, and has neglected the reform of the political system.
"Young master, you look for us." Hua Dongxing and Lin Feng came to the palace together.
Fang Xiaoyu, who was looking out the window, turned around, looked at the two of them and nodded, "Yes, I came to you today because I have something to discuss with you." ”
Sitting back in his chair, Fang Xiaoyu sighed and said, "I hope you two can establish a party separately. ”
"Partisanship?" The two were shocked to hear it, party is the most sensitive topic in imperial countries, like the original Lanfang Empire, the imperial court completely suppressed the party contention, regarded it as the root cause of chaos, and all those who formed a party would be reprimanded by the emperor, and the heavy ones would be cut for the people, so no one in the Lanfang Empire dared to blatantly establish their own party power.
Seeing the surprised eyes of the two, Fang Xiaoyu knew that they had misunderstood. Looking at the suspicious eyes of the two, Fang Xiaoyu quickly explained: "The party I am talking about has nothing to do with the kind of party struggle you think, the bourgeois party I ask you to establish. I want to slowly change the form of government to a constitutional monarchy, and rely on the strength of the people to improve the system of government itself, so that the country can be stable for a long time. ”
After Fang Xiaoyu's explanation, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Hua Dongxing said with some puzzlement: "Isn't our political system very good now?" With the Supervisory Yuan supervising the behavior of local officials and non-governmental newspapers as the government's policy guide, the way we govern now is very good, and I don't think there should be any changes to it. ”
Fang Xiaoyu sighed and said, "The reason why I want to change to a constitutional monarchy is mainly to restrict my own rights. ”
"What did the young master say about this? Why should you restrict your rights? Lin Feng asked in surprise.
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said: "To be exact, it is to restrict the rights of my descendants, the civil strife in Habfsburg this time is completely caused by their emperor Ferdinand who did not ask about the situation and insisted on going his own way, so we must also put an end to this kind of government that relies too much on the emperor's ability." ”
Hua Dongxing said: "Now the country is basically under the jurisdiction of government departments, and the young master is also rarely in charge of affairs, so isn't it already possible to avoid accidents?" ”
